Termination Detection of Local Computations
Contrary to the sequential world, the processes involved in a distributed system do not necessarily know when a computation is globally finished. This paper investigates the proble...

Validity and Failure of the Boltzmann Approximation of Kinetic Annihilation
This paper introduces a new method to show the validity of a continuum description for the deterministic dynamics of many interacting particles. Here the many particle evolution is...

Learning and Smoothed Analysis
We give a new model of learning motivated by smoothed analysis (Spielman and Teng, 2001). In this model, we analyze two new algorithms, for PAC-learning DNFs and agnostically learn...

On Using Extended Statistical Queries to Avoid Membership Queries
The Kushilevitz-Mansour (KM) algorithm is an algorithm that finds all the “large” Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. It is the main tool for learning decision trees ...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...
